Creating value through design
Design and Build in Southwell — The Seamless Way to Create Your Dream Home
Also covering Fiskerton, Upton, Edingley, Bleasby, Kirklington, Rolleston, Averham, Kelham and other Nottinghamshire villages
If you're planning to extend, renovate, or build in Southwell or nearby villages, there’s a better way to approach it — one that saves time, reduces stress, and results in a home designed for how you truly live.
At AM2 Architects, we offer a full, architect-led design and build service in Southwell and across Nottinghamshire. Our integrated model brings together design, planning, technical detail, cost control and build delivery — all under one trusted team.
Whether you're upgrading a period home near the Minster or building something new on a generous garden plot, we guide you from vision to reality — with creativity, precision, and professionalism at every step.
What Is Design and Build — and Why More Homeowners Are Choosing It
Design and build means one joined-up team manages your project from start to finish. Instead of hiring an architect, then a planner, then a builder — and hoping they all stay aligned — you work with a single team that takes full responsibility.
At AM2, we lead with smart, lifestyle-focused design. We then coordinate planning, technical drawings, and build delivery — all under one roof. That means fewer surprises, better communication, and a home that reflects what you actually need.
Architect-Led, Builder-Powered
At AM2, we design with your lifestyle in mind — and deliver with clarity and precision.
We involve builders early, ensuring feasibility and cost alignment before plans go in.
We manage everything — drawings, permissions, contracts, site progress — so you’re never left in the middle.
You get one experienced team who listens, communicates, and follows through.
It’s a collaborative, design-first model that respects construction realities — and makes your life easier.
Portfolio Highlight
Our project highlights showcase a diverse range of architectural designs, reflecting our expertise in delivering innovative, functional, and sustainable solutions. From modern new builds to thoughtful heritage restorations, each project demonstrates our commitment to client satisfaction and attention to detail.
Why It Works So Well in Southwell
Southwell and its surrounding villages — Fiskerton, Upton, Edingley, Bleasby, and Kirklington — offer incredible lifestyle potential for homeowners. But they also present challenges:
Conservation areas and sensitive planning policies
Historic homes with planning, access, and material constraints
Underserved plots with potential that’s often overlooked
Limited availability of cohesive design + build teams
That’s exactly where our service shines. We:
Understand Newark & Sherwood District Council's local planning requirements
Have experience designing in conservation areas and rural settings
Know how to add space and value without overbuilding
Work with reliable local contractors to ensure delivery matches design
Whether you’re extending a period home in Southwell, reworking a bungalow in Upton, or building a SIP garden room in Bleasby, we’ve got the tools — and the team — to make it happen.
